Psalms 59:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 59:12

10 ¹My God of mercy shall ^acome to meet me;
God shall let ^bme see my desire on my enemies.

11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.

12 ^aFor the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.

13 ^aConsume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And ^blet them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah

14 And ^aat evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.

15 They ^awand¹er up and down for food,
And howl if they are not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.

17 To You, ^aO my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.
